My wife and I are huge Blake Shelton fans. We had high hopes for this place. But we had a few issues with it. Our expectations were set pretty high as we have been to Toby Keith's I love this bar in Las Vegas several times before it was closed due to covid-19. Anyways, we visited on the evening of the 25th of July 2023. This was my birthday and our 1st anniversary dinner. We saw that they had live music and wanted to see the live band, get a drink and dinner to celebrate.

I'm going to start with the bad.

When we arrived we ordered "some beach" drinks. As that is our favorite song of his. They were $19 a drink and you get a soviner Mason jar with ole red logo on it to take home. When we got the drinks, they had literally no alcohol in them. It was 95% percent mix me and my wife are not big drinkers. Didn't even catch a buzz. I know most chain restaurants pour short & make week drinks. They have liquor laws they have to follow. I would expect that from Bahama Breeze or Longhorn. But when your paying $40 for two drinks. You expect to be just about stumbling out of the place. Especially coming from a County Icons restaurant. So that was one of the stars I removed.

I also want to say the server we had was trying to hard. We told her we wanted to drink first, watch the band, and then eat. She kept hovering over us and must have asked 30 times if we wanted another drink. In the hour and half we were there watching the band. We didn't order a second drink. That was the second star I removed.

The good

We ordered the hillbilly nachos as an appetizer. They were delicious. I highly recommend them.

My wife was pretty full after the nachos as they were huge. So she ordered the briscut and Mac and cheese as her meal. She loved it and said it was amazing. She was kind enough to let me have a bite and I 100% agree with her. It was better than my go to back home City BBQ.

I ordered the Briscut sandwich and frys. I don't like chorizo sasuage on anything. Just not my thing. So I ordered the sandwich without it. And it was amazing. The frys were great too.

I had the banana pudding for dessert, and it was amazing better than my mother could have ever made it.

The band that was playing that evening was good. The one guy played the fiddle and his brother played guitar and did a loop to make it sound like more instruments going on. But you could tell the singer was not a true country singer. He didn't have the natural drawl in the tone of his voice. For me that's what makes a country singer have conviction. He should have been singing in a creed or Linkin park cover band. Not covering Morgan Wallen. But what he lacked in vocal quality he made up for it in his fiddle ability. He was the best fiddle player I have ever seen.

So to wrap this up for this visit. I give 3 out of 5 stars. I hope someone from the resturant reads this and makes the needed changes. So that they can get better at what they do.
